Keeping Up with the Baja Ha-Ha Happenings

By Monica Grant | November 12, 2021 | Mexico |

Yesterday we received the following communication regarding the Baja Ha-Ha, from our “deaf guy driving a convertible at 80 on Highway 1.” (Although he may have been off the highway by then.)

“The Mexico navy made their presence known and boarded a few boats. They are always a little intimidating with their automatic weapons, but also always polite. It’s nice to know they’re out there. The fleet happily continues on.”

The Poobah had called in with another garbled message from Bahia Santa Maria to report that all was well among the fleet. Several boats had sailed the entire way, including Heidi Benson Stagg.

Heidi and her husband Aaron Stagg, both from Alameda, are crewing aboard the Bavaria Vision 46 Fundango, owned by Scott Sibbald and Joanne Pilkington from Carson City, NV.

Aaron and Heidi are rigged up for the cold passage south.

As the weather warms, the fish start biting. Scott hauls in a snack for the crew.

And the very latest: “Buenos dias from Cabo aboard SV Fundango! Morning swim and some writing while our captains check us in with the Mexican authorities … then it’s off to a beach party with the Baja Ha-Ha Fleet. Life is beyond good!”

Stay tuned for more Ha-Ha happenings.
